My & my boy, T-Tabernacle @ his pad.
So now to the post processing. Well, first I set the date & time on my cam, just in case I get lucky!
Discarded the colour to go grayscale. Added a bit of diffuse glow to soften it up a bit. With the help of Kirbic's advice, I was able to turn it back into a colour shot, cropped it, and then played with the channel mixer to add the red on the nose ring with the eclipse selector. Added a border (kinda boring) and thus the end product.

I'm sorry, call me old school, but I don't care for nose rings... Not a bad shot overall, but don't care for the selective desaturation. I don't think that it has a real effect here. Also your border is not even all around.

I'm really not a fan of the selective colorization here at all. The shot itself is interesting but of course the colored portion changes it dramatically and attracts all the attention. I can't say that this is a bad shot, it seems well done, it just doesn't work for me.
